"Elena Yarritu takes a rigorous approach to her instrument and a primal delight in dangerously fast tempos that take the flute into fearsome, adventurous areas." -American Record Guide ~ March/April 2009

“Congratulations! Your performance of my sonata is sensational! I loved your sound, energy, musicality, and expressivity. It is very exciting! I am delighted that this CD is out with my piece...." -Dr. Samuel Zyman, April 2008 Composer, Professor of Literature and Materials of Music (Music Theory) The Juilliard School

Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall Recital Debut, Nov. 23, 2003

“One hears many flute recitals these days, but it is seldom that one gets to experience the kind of consistent polish, excitement, invention and sheer joy…

Ms. Yárritu is a superior player in more ways than one: she has an exquisitely fine tone with a rock solid, steady vibrato; she plays in tune, singing with a most elegant, expressive quality; and she is always rhythmically precise." -Anthony Aibel, New York Concert Review
